Mago was exposed as too hyped for his high rankings. Also, he fought a bigger guy in Hernandez and that was a terrible mistake. Anyway, GGG would eat him for breakfast.
Neither Mago nor Hernandez is going anywhere soon.
True. Both guys are quite slow for MW and lack in skills
Hello, Olivier. Who do you like in Thurman-Porter?
Nice fight with one of the boxer keeping always the right distance by using his very good jab capability and connecting good right hands from time to time. A really big upset but Arif didn’t do much to defend his tittle. Well done Hernandez.
